Chapter 27: Reunion
"Woo Woo ......"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Yang Ge wiped his hands and walked quickly from the backyard into the front yard, and when he saw Xiao Huang standing behind the courtyard door with his tail wagked, he knew who was coming.
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw Shopkeeper Liu standing outside the courtyard door with his hands behind his back.
"What are you tossing about?"
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the dirt on his body and asked with a smile.
Yang Ge hurriedly turned sideways and warmly invited his old man in: "You are just right to come here, I have rented the yard behind me, and I am going to get a small vegetable plot and raise some chickens and ducks, come and take a look." ”
"Huh?"
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him with some surprise, the meaning of inquiry in his eyes quickly dissipated as soon as he appeared, and he grabbed Yang Ge: "Don't be busy, let's be busy today, come back next time to take a look...... Come, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it should be a solar term! ”
The old man smiled and took out an oil-paper bag from behind him, which was firmly tied and had the words 'moon cake' written on red paper, and stuffed it into Yang Ge's arms.
There was only a little bit of residual heat left in the oiled paper bag, but Yang Ge held it in his hand, and there was a burning sensation of holding the stove.
He tried to pull the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is really rude for you to come and give me moon cakes." ”
Looking at his ugly smiling face, Shopkeeper Liu didn't tear him down, just smiled and waved his hand and said: "We don't pay attention to this, but you should go for a walk more, there is a temple fair over there in the City God Temple tonight, and the big girls and little girls in this city will go, you also go shopping, it's a good year, don't be locked up at home and compete with this small courtyard!" ”
Yang Ge nodded yes, and finally asked the old man to sit down and drink tea again.
"Don't sit down, we still have a lot of things to do today!"
The old man shook his head, every wrinkle on his face stretched, and even the lines on his head were hidden with joy: "Let's come here today, I want to invite you to be your rich brother's family member tomorrow, and go to the woman's house to hire together!" ”
Yang Ge's eyes widened in surprise, and he said happily: "It's decided?" ”
The old man nodded with a smile: "The second daughter of the Deng butcher family in Dongshi is fierce, diligent and thrifty, and is a good match for your rich brother!" ”
Yang Ge hurriedly waved his hand: "Congratulations to the owner, congratulations to the young owner, our inn will not be able to buy good pork in the future!" ”
The old man was obviously so happy that his old face was about to laugh like a chrysanthemum, and he waved his hand unhappily: "Hey, let's be our own family, don't say these foreign words, come over tomorrow earlier, dress neatly, and go to the woman with your rich brother to be hired, my in-laws are not short of food and clothing, so they have a good face, and our family can't lose our manners......"
Yang Ge opened his mouth to deal with this matter, but after quickly going through this matter in his heart, he hesitated a little.
Seeing his hesitant appearance, Shopkeeper Liu wondered, "What's the matter, do you have anything else to do tomorrow?" Whether you can push it or not, nothing is more important than our imports! ”
Yang Ge thought for a while, stretched out his hand and pulled the old shopkeeper to walk under the grape trellis: "Don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly!" ”
Shopkeeper Liu was a little annoyed, but he still followed Yang Ge's words and walked to the grape trellis and sat down.
Yang Ge entered the house, poured a bowl of water out, handed it to the old man with both hands, and then moved a small chair, sat next to the old man, and said seriously: "Shopkeeper, it's not that I don't know what to do, you and Brother Fugui can think of me about this, that is to treat me Yang Ge as his own family, it stands to reason that I Yang Ge has to carry this face no matter what!" ”
Hearing his words, Shopkeeper Liu's face softened a little, and Wen Yan said: "This is serious, but we and your rich brother hope that you can go tomorrow, our old Liu family has three generations of single transmission, and your rich brother has no cousin and cousin to take care of, you haven't seen our two brothers, and our two have not seen each other, and in the future, you will also point out that your two brothers can help each other and support each other, don't the old sayings say: 'One fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs'?" ”
Yang Ge smiled and nodded: "I understand the thoughts of you and Brother Fugui, but it is precisely because of this that I can't go!" ”
Shopkeeper Liu: "What do you mean?" ”
Yang Ge thought for a while and replied: "The shopkeeper, opening a martial arts hall is not better than opening an inn for us, smiling and welcoming guests from all directions, and making money with harmony, no matter how the world changes, opening a martial arts hall is a business with people after all, I tried my best to promote Brother Fugui to start a family first and then start a business, I hope that Brother Fugui can be more down-to-earth and calm, but we can't guarantee that we won't provoke others, and others won't provoke us?" ”
"Let's not talk about 10,000, just in case, if there is trouble to come to the door, we can't let Brother Fugui drag his family to do something with others?"
"I don't have this concern, no matter what trouble can only come at me, even if I can't solve it, I will stop here!"
"So, no matter what kind of friendship our two families have in private, on the surface, we still have the master as the host and the guest as the guest, only in this way, what trouble do I have, so that I will not be involved Brother Fugui, I will do things, so I have no worries!"
"What do you think?"
He was talking about the martial arts hall, but what he was thinking about was the mess of embroidered clothes.
The martial arts hall is to move hands and feet with people, but the embroidered clothes guard is with people!
Keep a certain distance from the old Liu family, in case there are any sequelae, it will not affect the old Liu family, right?
After listening to Yang Ge's words, Shopkeeper Liu's eyes swelled, and he was speechless for a while.
After a while, he grabbed Yang Ge's arm and sighed heavily: "You, it's just that your mind is too heavy......"
Yang Ge gently patted the old man's back and said with relief: "It's good that you and Brother Fugui don't hold grudges against me!" ”
The old man went back with a heavy heart, and even the joy of importing was much less.
People who have hearts and lungs are always more tired to live......
Yang Ge closed the courtyard door, washed his hands, and then opened the moon cake brought by the old man.
I saw that the layers of oiled paper were wrapped in fluffy cakes that were closer to steamed buns, rather than the hard-baked mooncakes he remembered.
He tore off a small piece and fed it into his mouth and tasted it, sweet and with a slight aroma of grain...... It's better than the May kernel mooncakes.
Xiao Huang wagged his big tail and leaned towards his lap, and his cooing black eyes looked at him: "Uh-huh, um-......"
"Alright, alright!"
Yang Ge divided the moon cake into two halves, half stuffed into his mouth and half into Xiao Huang's mouth, and said vaguely: "The moon cake is also eaten, and the festival is over!" ”
Xiao Huang swallowed the mooncakes in his mouth in two bites, and stared at the remaining mooncakes in the oiled paper bag.
Yang Ge took advantage of its inattention, picked up the oil paper bag and ran: "Dog thief, don't want to eat my moon cakes!" ”
Xiao Huang dragged his big tongue and chased after him: 'Bad guy, don't want to eat alone......
